Nobody wants to be associated with Buhari

Just one campaign trip and APC already in disarray


Hahahahaha

By the time PDP is done, Buhari will be fully exposed
@OP, buy yourself a new radio. He said prison and bridges.

Hahahahahaha

Dictator hiding behind a short pastor

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

APC should more concerned about Buhari's certificate otherwise they would have handed GEJ victory on a platter.

Oga Buhari

What stopped you from stabilizing power in 1983 when it was cheaper.
GEJ is already working with the private sector on this and we need continuity to conclusion

Buhari, are you not tired of lies?

There is no stopping GEJ. More APC evil to be exposed

Buhari did not buy even a single rifle as head of state.
Buhari has no school certificate

Excellent outing by GEJ. I guess the terrorist party didn't expect this.
Hahahaha

Lol

This is another reason to vote in GEJ. Bokoharam would have outlived its purpose come Feb 2015 after GEJ is declared winner of the election. They will continue to run amoc in campaign for Buhari for the next few weeks towards election... But don't be decieved cos their end is here

If Buhari has any help to render to defeat it, he can still do it now.

Besides, what will Buhari do differently? Or will the army be different or is it not the same Nigerian army? Or Buhari will go to the hot front with his gun? or the Bokoharam will step down once Buhari steps in cos they are his foot soilders?

They will continue to attack on the eve of PDP major campaigns to give the paid APC paid agents online something to talk about.... Watch the trend.

Nice one presido

Eziachi:
The point is proven by your own words on the bolded. If you were him, you would not make such a statement. Why?
Because you are smart maybe and knows the implications and probably that can be twisted against you. Why did he make such statement which you admitted that you wouldn't? Because he is totally CLUELESS!

Just like many Nigerians who fell for easy way out.. you fall for the bait trying to patronize me. Stick to the topic, I gave my honest view about it but I repeat that Stealing is not corruption. The fact that the opposition have attempted to score cheap political points off it does not make it a wrong statement. If your grandkid steals a candy, do you spank him for being corrupt?, why the fuss trying to force-fit stealing to equal corruption just to sound politically corrupt. Again..... Stealing is not corruption and if in need to further clarifications on this one.. get your dictionary

Eziachi:
Being gentle has nothing to do with clueless. Chinua Achebe is one of the gentliest person one could meet, but have you heard of anyone, even his enemies calling him clueless? Jonathan is so clueless, the northern power gang showed him a lifeless Yar Adua and he came and told us he is getting better.
I keep saying it that he might be the first Nigeria president to be sent to jail because he will be so clueless as to know how the others before him covers their tracks. Mark my word.

You still don't get it, do you?. Chinua Achebe is not a politician otherwise an adjective would still been assigned to him. I have continually told you I don't deal on rumours based on opposition hearsay... provide a link where GEJ saw lifeless yaradua and told us he was getting better. GEJ followed the rule of law and he ascended the presidency when the time was right. If he usurped power like you are insinuating, you will still be here calling him a dictator. GEJ has shown Nigerians what democracy entails through following the rule of law, signing the FOI bill and freedom of speech. On your jail story, wait till he leaves in 2019..... there are no tracks to cover.

Eziachi:
Being angry doesn't solve anything. Why are you angry when you are comfortable a possible four more years of ineptness of a party and their corrupt clueless leaders doing the same very thing for the the last16 years? You are the one that cannot see that Jonathan is not a leader, anyone can see it, if they are honest with themselves. Allowing petty crooks to hijack his government. Hiring FFK of all people to run your campaign is a red hot cluelessness.

Firstly, not sure who made the comment you quoted cos it was not me. However, let me state that am discussing GEJ and not PDP. Of the 16 years you referenced under PDP, OBJ ran 8 horrible years and today is the chief pilot of the APC you present as an alternative. You claim GEJ is not a leader ... no issues but that is the reason for the discourse. You have to prove it otherwise your statement goes down as just rants and emotions. FFK is available for hire, he was originally hired by APC (you had no issues with that) and now he is with PDP (and all hell is let loose). He understands APC better than most as he was part of them.. he is best for the hatchet job. Now, stick to the topic

Eziachi:
It seems that you had been holidaying on the moon. If not, it was a common knowledge that Jonathan and his sidekicks believed that Chibok was a hoax. Godswill Akpabio came out of a meeting with him at Aso Rock said it before the world media that it was hoax. Kema Chikwe came out too and repeated the same after meeting Jonathan.
They demanded to see pictures/DNA evidence of the victims etc. Do you want me to go on?
How can he not be clueless, when he declared a huge part of the territory that he governs as a no go area for him? What sort of confidence does that give to the armed forces that are fighting without needed weapon, when your own C-in-C does that?

You are still on with rants and emotions. Let me repeat myself for emphasis. Insinuations and rumors does not always pass as reality. However, the questions around the chibok incident have continued to seek answers not just by Nigerian public but also by international observers because a lot of things don't add up. When the presidency and the military seek answers... it does not equate considering it hoax rather it seeks an end to the menace. Till date, you and me have no full details about the chibok incident.
I guess you expect GEJ to force himself down the disturbed territories against the advise of the intelligence agencies. The objective/ focus of the fight is to end terrorism in Nigeria.... The opposition's rants are just mere distractions.

Eziachi:
You said it yourself again. Probably not the best statement. That is the clueless their for you. When the head of a sovereign state stated that the authenticity of a serious national security issue in his domain is measured only if another sovereign nation knows about it. That's just dumb. I wanted to hide when he said it. How clueless can one get after that? You can see that I don't do emotion, just hard facts.

Again, you are patronizing me. Stick to the topic and I maintained that 'America will know' is not a wrong statement. You are getting a lot of things muddled up and introducing some lies too. You said 'issue in his domain is measured only if another sovereign nation knows about it' and that is very untrue. He has already said that there is no way $20billion can be missing from Nigerian coffers that the Nigerian economy would not feel it. He only illustrated by saying that America will know. And besides, be careful to use the words sovereign so loosely here because the currency in question belongs to another sovereign nation and not Nigerian naira. Besides, only a dummy would believe that $20billion =3.6 trillion naira which is equivalent of Nigeria's total annual budget can get missing and the economy continues unaffected.
Considering the foregoing, I can categorically say you lack facts but possess plenty emotions

Eziachi:
Where do I start on this one? Ok. Yes, we turn blind eyes on things that matters like, why over $20 billion was spent on power and nothing changed and he ended up selling off public asset to the same bunch of people stealing public money but are more keen on Buhari's certificate?
FOI or free and fair elections is not an achievement, it's a democratic rights made possible through the legislative process and willingness to implement the electoral Act by Jega and his team respectively (,never mind Anambra Gubernatorial election).

This is where I have to call you to order. Did you just say Free and fair elections and FOI are not democratic achievements. Did you really mean to say that or it was an error? Do you have an idea that the reason you think you can vote out the incumbent is because of what you denied calling an achievement. What did you say to Obj when our elections were mere formalities? GEJ handed over power to the people through fair elections and you call it a non-achievement? Are you aware the reason you think you know about corruption in the system is because same GEJ signed the FOI bill that Obj refused signing all through his 8yrs?

Obj claimed he spent $16billion buying gas turbines of outdated technology which are still sitting at Apapa as we speak. So when you say $20billion was spent on power... be explicit enough to tell us who spent what. The power sector is best in the hands of the private sector. The next set of competitiors from Canada, Norway and China are to be introduced in 2016 to give the current investors a good run for their money. More than ever, Nigeria power sector is on the path of recovery in the hands on the people to whom its business. its going to take time, funds and facilities but constant power is a certainty in the near term

Eziachi:
Babangida probably oversaw the most free election in the history of Nigeria, was it down to him? No! It was purely down to Humphrey Nwosu. How much belief does Jonathan has on the FOI, when he claimed that he doesn't give a damned about declaring his asset as the leadeing public servant? Tell me how that was not clueless?

GEJ declared his asset as a vice president and has remained in active service since then within the presidency. You don't expect him to keep declaring his asset every year just because the opposition demands so. If he actually did, you lot will still refer to him as clueless.

Eziachi:
Nigeria is awashed with so many already glorified secondary schools called universities, so why build more when you cannot maintain or equip the hundreds of the sub standard ones? You cannot pay their lecturers, you are graduating so many semi illiterates and armed robbers?

The recipients of the new universities are most grateful. The alamajiri schools will make our northern brethren more resourceful and not vulnerable to be recruited into terrorism. GEJ promised the universities 1.2 trillion to equip the universities and 200 billion has been released already. The 30 years rot in the education sector cannot disappear in 4 years. Key thing is the sector is getting the attention it deserves

Eziachi:
Nigeria need first class modern refineries , not your oil and gas policy geared tailored towards making few political sidekicks overnight billionaires, after 16 years of $100 average crudes sales and they are still importing refined crude. That's called clueless.

The presence of subsidy has stopped investors from investing in the down stream sector Nigeria. In less than one year after subsidy removal, I expect a minimum of 5 functional private refining stations in Nigeria. There are off the shelf refining modules that could be deployed immediately by investors. While laying of pipeline is ongoing to transport crude and finished products…. Use of road tankers can be deployed in the interim. At that time, we can push the govt to subsidize the cost of crude to the local refineries which will result in lower product prices at the pump (probably less than 97naira per litre)… That is the issue based politics we ought to play. The petro-chemical industry is a massive market on its own capable of producing raw materials for manufacturing industries. At the moment, Indorama (Former Eleme Petrochemical Industry) is the only major petrochemical industry. I expect an exponential growth in the number of petrochemical industries in Nigeria once we start have the functional private refineries in-country. The business opportunities and employment potentials of the downstream is massive. All that is required is TAKE AWAY THE FUEL SUBSIDY and this government is committed to doing this. This period of low global crude prices is the best time to remove the subsidy as the price of refined in the international market is almost equal to the current pump prices in Nigeria. And private investors can rush up their refineries before the global crude prices stabilizes and starts increasing again. Unfortunately, if subsidy is removed before the elections, politicians in the opposition will play on the emotions of naïve and illiterate Nigerians which represents about 70% of the voting population….. As such it has to be suspended till after the elections.

Eziachi:
I agree with you that Nigerians are lazy. Mainly intellectual laziness, your are doing exactly that now. Supporting mediocrity in the name of some sort of loyalty. Do I think that Buhari is the answer? Maybe be not, but for the fact that you seriously considered Jonathan as a signal for a future, shows that you are probably more clueless than him.

You are just a typical Nigerian who call names, complain and refuse to think. You have complained about all presidents and you will definitely complain about the next. However, your complaints have never fixed Nigeria's problem. The Future is of Nigeria is brighter than ever with the policies put in place by thus government. Nigerians seek short term benefits and quick fixes with no eye for the future. GEJ has led a govt of the future but we are not used to it so we judge his performance on the near term results only. Our biggest problem is illiteracy.

oneplusone:
If by godfather,you mean his most influential supporter,then tell me who you prefer out of Tinubu and Bode George,hope you know that the foundation for the infrastructural development of Lagos you're seeing today was laid by Tinubu

Tinubu is the most corrupt Nigerian alive. His wife is the senator, the daughter is iyaloja, the two son-in-law are house of assembly and house of rep members. All the government properties in Ikoyi and VI have been assigned as Tinubu's private property. Every hotel in VI is owned by Tinubu... what business is he into?
He installs obas, HOA members and even LG chairmen.

He installed toll plazas and concessioned to his company. Tinubu's company manages Lagos IGR

Please what greater evil is this? Lagosians are literally slaves to Tinubu.

So no need asking that your question. .... only the devil can be worse than Tinubu.

The reason why Nigerians rejected Buhari for 12 years and running remains unchanged

A terrorist
An extremist
A religious fundamelist
A coup plotter
A deceptive and corrupt fraud

And most recently.... an illiterate

FFK should bring it on.

Eziachi:
1.Even my grandson knew that stealing is the nucleus of corruption and GEJ doesn't know that

2.Yar Adua signed a national budget even when he was already in a vegetable state and GEJ had no idea, don't even know country or hospital Yar Adua was-totally clueless.

3. When the law was on his side to take over as the acting president, he was totally clueless on how to claim it, until Akunyili saved his a.ss.

4. It took him 3 weeks to realize that I chibok incident isn't a hoax to the bewilderment of the world. And senator McCain called him some clueless fellla called Goodluck.

5. That Americans will know if the money he supposed to be looking after is missing, that his source of knowing- that is damned clueless.

What more reason do you want?

Your grandson knows stealing is corruption....fine. we can play all the politics we want around it, quote out of context to suit our political affiliations but it still does not change the fact that stealing is not directly corruption. Now if I were him, I wont make the statement not because its wrong but because political vultures will pounce on it like you've done. When someone steals we call the person a thief and not a corrupt person. Stealing is a subset of corruption and not equal to corruption.

Your point 2& 3 are probably the most naive justification to cluelessness. Gentleness, meekness, loyalty and abiding by the rule of law can never be equated to cluelessness. Jonathan was loyal to his boss and he strictly abided by the rule of law by not usurping power when the president has not been officially declared incapacitated. Sometimes you lot sound like you've missed the military regime alot where everything is forcefully done with impunity. We prayed to get out of military rule and GEJ is the true embodiement of what democracy should look like and we need to start getting used to it.

The fight against insurgents was way on before the chibok incidents. I am not sure where you got the info that he considered it hoax. Insinuations and rumours does not always pass as reality. However, the questions around the chibok incident have continued to seek answers not just by Nigerian public but also by international observers because alot of things dont add up. When the presisency and the military seek answers... it does not equate considering it hoax rather it seeks an end to the menace. Till date, you and me have no full details about the chibok incident. ... I am certain the story is not exactly as the public knows it but I'll rather have the intelligence community do their work. Yet again I cant find anything clueless here

'America will know'... Probably not the best statement for a learned environment but perfect for the context and audience. . Do you mind telling mw what us clueless about that statement without emotions? There is no way anybody can pull out $20billion dollars from circulation that America whose currency is pulled out would not know. This is just like saying someone pulls out 3.6trillion naira from circulation and CBN will be blind to it..... Again, nothing clueless about the statement.

Unfortunately we turn blind eyes to the things that matter and focus on irrelevant stuffs just to score cheap political points.

There is nothing clueless about the automobile, power, , agricultural sectors. Nothing clueless about our railways and roads. Nothing clueless about the oil and gas downstream policies, nothing clueless about the new universities and almajiri achools, nothing clueless about the gas gathering plants, nothing clueless about free and fair elections, nothing clueless about FOI bills, nothing clueless about youwin and many other wonderful initiatives, nothing clueless about the future of Nigeria under GEJ. ........... Yet we seek nothings just to call someone clueless.

Illiteracy and laziness to think is Nigeria's biggest problem. We will still complain about the next president after GEJ yet no plans for the future.

Nigerians.... The future is here under GEJ. open your eyes.

edozie04:
chibok girls, corruption?, pej and cohorts, jst to mention a few, Clueless is an understatement

Do you really need a response?
Unfortunately one of our biggest problem as a country is illiteracy. If not that majority of Nigerians are illiterates, we would have been asking the right questions and how Buhari intends to jail corrupt Nigerians.

Which jail can accommodate all corrupt Nigerians knowing that an average Nigerian is corrupt?

 Which non-corrupt judge will prosecute the corrupt Nigerians? Is it this same extremely corrupt judiciary that will fight corruption? Would Buhari double as the president and Judge at the same time?

How do you stop the rich but corrupt elites from paying their way through the courts?

Where do you find the non-corrupt law enforcement agents that will implement the law to the letter?How does he plan to prosecute his party men when the looted funds can be traced to his campaign?

To what end has such previous fights against corruption been effective? Has the proposed mode of fight against corruption ever been effective?

Even under military where the presidency has ultimate powers, To what end did the fight against corruption go? Did it end corruption?

The bare truth is that this proposed mode of fight against corruption can never work under our democracy .... Never!!!. It can only make corruption more sophisticated.

The only solution is the systematic way GEJ have dealt with corruption. The E-wallet system eliminated the fertilizer scam, the biometric registration eliminated the ghost worker scam and saved over 50bn per annum, the pension reform have put to end the age long pension scam. More needs to be done

By the time subsidy on refined product is removed and crude sold to local refineries at reduced prices.... The subsidy corruption will be eliminated.

Nigerians need to push the state governors to sign the freedom of information bill, with that allocations to state will be on a live e-site and expenditures on such funds can be updated live. Nigerians will have the opportunity to make comparisons across the spend patterns across different states.

Nigerians need to wake up and stop playing illiterates. We need to start thinking beyond our noses. There is no short term fix to the many issues bedeviling Nigeria but systematic and strategic policies are the way out. 

This is the only way out of corruption. Anybody who tells you he will fight corruption..... Ask him how and test the feasibility.

Now who is clueless, GEJ or the ones that call him clueless?

I am waiting to see reasons they call him clueless cos I am yet to find anything clueless about GEJ.

He is the best we've ever had

Hahahaha

No space in asorock. Buhari better call his boys back to order cos he shall not see the gates of asovilla as a president.

Its quite pathetic how these dumb northern elements consider Nigerians gullible

Lol.... APC is gradually being exposed for who they are

Their presidential flagbearer is without certificate
They've been busy cloning PVC cards
Others are campaigning and they are busy threatening parallel govt
Buhari is busy urging Muslims to vote Muslims while commanding his boys to kill infidels
Bokoharam has become their campaign point

Only fools and enemies of Nigeria will support that evil party.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Compare what I wrote to your reply.

What a shame Nigeria turned out to be churning out loser after loser, generation after generation because the Govts did not think it wise to invest in the training, proper education, and future of its children/citizens.

He is right. Only a silly fool will foolishly support a man who joined the army without a school certificate.

Assuming he truly has the school cert, its even more stupidity to support a man who have called the bluff of the electorate by refusing to provide his cert to put the controversy to an end.

Lol

PDP wont be spending campaign funds. Buhari handed them victory on a platter. Either at the polls or the court.

Create 720k cattle rearing jobs?
How many opportunities have he created for himself since he was booted out of office?
What innovation does Buhari represent?
How has he added to the economy and how many people does he currently employ?
Buhari have criticised all the gains of the current govt meaning he intends to do something different.... what are those things to be done differently since he has no plans to consolidate on the gains of the current government?

Simply put, a man cannot give what he does not have. GEJ has provided over 1million jobs...... 720k is retrogressive.

Pendy79 only you raise topic, only you get all the comments

Hope you guys get upto 2million naira a week cos this is sadly hardwork.

Story for the gods

Lagosians are tired of Tinubu abs his stooges
Why is he denying his godfather?..... unrepentant liars.

Why do Nigerians hate reality.?
Agbaje stated the absolute truth... why are we shying away from it?

They did it before and Obasanjo's army could do nothing about it. Will the army change immediately Buhari steps in?..... how?

Some people threatened to make the country ungovernable in time past and they kept true to their words.... Expect the creeks to keep theirs.

You can't frustrate GEJ out and expect easy oil flow. Its no threat, its reality.

Only dull and unenterprising minds will be calling for a 72year old illiterate to come rule a fast paced dynamic Nigeria of 2015.

GEJ's performance grossly outweighs Buharis when he was much younger. Much more now that he is bereft of ideas.

ommo:
What makes him unqualified? Which part of the constitution makes him unqualified? and base on what is he not qualified? Don't you think, if his not qualified, the system will not allow him the contest? How did he contest for the HIGHEST office all these while if his not qualified?

In answering these questions objectively, you will come to reason with me that, these are all political gimmick? Thank you.

I will answer objectively and prove you wrong

The constitution is clear that anyone vying for the position of the president must have a school cert or its equivalent.
You need to be clear on what equivalent is. A one year military training is not an equivalent of a six year secondary education.

Again the condition of entry to Nigeria army is school cert and that has not changed till date. At a minimum, Buhari should have that to join the Nigerian Army.

From the foregoing... Buhari should have at least school cert. Unfortunately the quota system favoured a lot of fulani entries into the army without adequate certification. Buhari has not shown any certificate to INEC, he swore an affidavit when he could simply request for a replacement from the certifying bodies if his got missing. Until late, Lai Mohd has come to tell us that his certificates were missing while Buhari told us it was with the army board. ..... Its clear to the blind from events so far that something is amiss

The fact that Buhari got away without a certificate in 2003, 2007 and 2011 does not make it any less evil and renders him unqualified. Buhari has no Bsc or Msc. NDA is not an equivalent of school cert rather school cert is a pre-requisite to NDA. Infact all the factors around Buhari makes school cert inevitable. So the question the world is asking is where is it?.

PDP is quiet on the subject cos it matters less to them now. If by a Miracle Buhari wins at the polls, the court will easily nullify his candidacy. PDP will revisit the issue only when it matters.

Note: I didnt call you names, I responded objectively. I expect that you follow suit. .... Thanks.

A party committed to a parallel government will do just about anything. That is the height of desperation.

APC shot their supporters to score cheap political points. What does PDP stand to gain with such act on such day?

With the desperation shown by APC so far with even threats of parallel govt, planning and executing such acts should be no big deal to them.

APC has the world record on Politics of bitterness.

greatdeal1408:
now i'm so happy we are all participating in politics.

your point is well clear and i bet you Nigerian are more wiser than before.
with the helps of smart phones we can easily expose any corrupt government officers.

good point Op

If only Nigeria will stop falling for very cheap propaganda. We have become a country of complainants who have no plan for the future.

We dont even know what we want... always looking for quick fix which is non-existent. Yet we complain just about anybody and anything except ourselves.

Most painfully. ... We just don't think!!!!!!

ommo:
What is this? I swear GEJ and his flock of supporters have no message for us. If they did not get this certificate issue, they will not have anything else tell us.

Tell us what else you have for us that you have not yet done or implemented already and stop whinny about this certificate. I thought your party asked us to do issues base campaigns.

There is no bigger issue to campaign about. That a man who is not qualified by the terms of the constitution is vying for the highest office in the land...... That is the real issue based campaign.
